Year: 2014
Duration of the implementation: 3 months
Target group: Adult learners
Summary:

In adult education, adopting a methodology that combines theory and practice is essential, facilitating engaging and meaningful learning. The approach aims to develop practical skills through an interactive and personalised learning environment. An IT educator who teaches computer science-based subjects in courses for adults organised by Cramars uses this practice.

The teaching method involves practical exercises to identify the different problem- solving methods adopted by the students. Through individual assistance, the teacher can adapt his or her approach to the needs of each participant, promoting action- based learning with technology integration, rather than mere memorisation.

The process:

Each learner will be initially assessed to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

The teacher proposes diverse activities that stimulate different learning styles, combining visual, auditory, and hands-on elements. This makes lessons more accessible and engaging.

Students' progress is constantly monitored during the exercises, and they receive regular, constructive feedback to encourage and improve their performance.

The requirements for the transferability of the practice are:

The physical equipment and display of the classroom: The room is equipped with computers and an interactive whiteboard, with adequate space for the teacher to provide individual support. This configuration allows direct and immediate interaction with each student, fostering a deep understanding of the concepts covered.

The teacher's disposition who needs to be prepared to listen, adapt, and dialogue to help students achieve their educational goals.
